Gartner names SAI Global as IT Vendor Risk Management leader

SAI Global has been named a leader in the 2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for IT Vendor Risk Management Tools, the company announced this week.

SAI Global helps customers to proactively manage risk to create trust and achieve business excellence, growth, and sustainability. The company's integrated risk management solutions are a combination of leading capabilities, services and advisory offerings that operate across the entire risk lifecycle allowing businesses to focus elsewhere.

SAI Global was recognised as a Leader for its ability to execute, and for its completeness of vision.

Commenting on the recognition, SAI Global chief executive officer Peter Granat says, "We believe this recognition from Gartner in the Leaders quadrant validates that we have the right strategy and we are executing across product, services and content bolstered by our acquisitions of BWise and StrategicBCP."

 "In a maturing market, we feel we stand out with the most complete integrated risk management platform, enabling our customers to face the connected nature of risk giving them greater reputational and operational resilience."

SAI Global feels the Gartner report confirms a competitive market with demand growing for cloud-first software solutions. The dependency for businesses to operate within a global information supply chain increases and broadens exposure to costly security gaps and operational risks.

"At SAI Global, we are focused on making our customers successful as they plan, engage, and look to mitigate third-party business disruptions in today's increasingly complex digital risk landscape," adds SAI Global's chief technology officer, Anton Lissone.

"We feel our cloud-based VRM solution provides unparalleled transparency and enables companies to rapidly integrate risk intelligence that enhances vendor risk assessment. It also offers them the opportunity for real-time monitoring and remediation recommendations for all their VRM activities. We believe we are successful only when our customers are successful."

SAI Global:

• Offers the ability to cut time for risk assessments and monitor vendors automating ongoing monitoring, security rating services, vendor questionnaires and risk assessments
